Luxembourg emergency services responded to a road accident and multiple drink-driving cases in separate incidents, with one driver sustaining serious injuries.

On Tuesday morning, a serious collision occurred between a lorry and a car on the road between Christnach and Consdorf. The CGDIS responded to the scene, despatching an Emergency Medical Assistance Team (SAMU).

One person sustained serious but non-life-threatening injuries, while a second individual was taken to hospital for further assessment.

The lorry, which was transporting industrial detergent, suffered an oil leak that spilled onto the road. Firefighters used a specialised liquid to clean the spill. Police later confirmed that the detergent cargo itself had not leaked.

Two drink-driving cases reported

In separate incidents, police apprehended two motorists for driving under the influence.

On Monday afternoon, officers in Bonnevoie stopped a suspected drink driver following reports from the public. A breathalyser test confirmed the driver’s intoxication, resulting in the immediate revocation of their licence.

Later that night, another driver in Luxembourg City was pulled over after running a red light at the intersection of Boulevard Royal and Rue de la Porte Neuve. A positive breathalyser test led to the driver’s licence being confiscated.
